1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The aim for this study was to develop consensus terminology, diagnostic criteria of multimodal imaging and develop a guideline for management of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). A systematic consensus process was conducted to develop updated clinical recommendations for the management of PCV. In order to develop the guidelines, a panel of ten PCV experts nationwide reviewed current evidence, focusing on key randomized controlled trials (EVEREST-II and PLANET), and conducted a systematic literature search to inform the guidelines. Several draft recommendations were evaluated and improved to determine the strength and quality of evidence. Consensus was defined as ≥90% agreement achieved, with multiple voting rounds if needed. The finalized guidelines incorporate the most recent evidence available up to November 30, 2023. The panelists reached an agreement on several aspects of PCV management, including the need for diagnostic criteria, classification, various treatment options and the development of a treatment algorithm. Recommendations are made for the clinical management of PCV based on a professional assessment of current evidence.
